• I agree with pianissima. I managed to get through a whole dinner at a restaurant that specialized in seafood by having nothing but water and I had a fine time. I was dreading it, thinking I’d be tortured and look weird but it was just nice to SOCIAL…

• saraw – if this is the right thing for you, you’ll come around. Just take it one day at a time, what matters is the moment in front of you right now, and if you’re not ready you’re not ready. I fell down a slippery slope of cooked food in the last f…

• I’ve had great luck with Gabriel and I used to be a makeup artist so I’ve used every mascara in the department store! Just don’t cry or swim and you’ll be set. I’ve got the light lashes too and I can’t let go. Also – I use coconut oil to remove it, …

• Wow, and to think how many years I drank pasteurized juice. Here at my parents’ house they have the frozen cans of concentrate that make me shudder, although it tasted pretty good when I was six!

• Me too! A few weeks ago, had fun with some non-raw friends. We had the chef’s sampler. Glad you had a good experience. JoyceH – I didn’t find it heavy AT ALL, if anything heavy on the fresh veggies. I’m not sure of the real entree sizes because the …

• I think it depends on the brand – the ones at the drug store seem have lot of fillers. I use Demure brand from the health food store – they have very cool eyeshadow colors, but right now I’m just using the concealer which is a loose powder. Since go…

• To add to bitt’s comment, there’s an organic farm here in VT that is doing so well they’re starting year round production in green houses. We also use lots of frozen berries in the winter, many of which are local. And there are many winter vegetable…

• Mine were also in the bulk bin, next to the kashi, and they sprouted fine.

• I don’t think there’s any right answer, other than the longer you soak them the smoother they will be to blend, if that’s what you’re going to do with them. If they’re being used it’s you’re own taste since cashews don’t need to be soaked prior to e…

• Just to further complicate things, Dr. Gabriel Cousens recommends dehydrating at 145 for the first hour or 2 and then turning it down since there’s so much water in food when you first put it in, it doesn’t heat up right away, so you end up spending…

• I use Matt Amsden’s hummus recipe which uses zucchini instead of sprouted chickpeas, I can’t tell the difference. It’s in Rawvolution where there is also a fantastic recipe for raw tabouli and they go very very well together!

  in hummus not raw right? Comment by amysue
• I do the same as bitt, also put a tablespoon in smoothies, you can put it in dehydrated breads, and if you keep a separate one in the bathroom use it for shaving, moisturizing, taking off makeup, smoothing frizzy hair.

• You might try checking out youtube. When I was unclear about sprouting buckwheat I happened to find a video on youtube that demonstrated the entire process. It also recommended using nutmilk or sprout bag that you hang up to keep it aerated, rather …

• I think most of us have been in your spot, don’t worry! In the beginning it’s exciting and fun and you might go a little crazy. I had to get under control myself. I’ve heard that farmer’s markets can make it very affordable. We don’t have one locall…
